How well would Foreman do now if he was 40 and made a comeback?

    We've already got a similar fighter out there called Ortiz, personally I think GF at 40 was better.

    Joyce would never have knocked out Moorer.

    Ortiz is far quicker.

    Povertkin slipped AJ`s punches and countered better and quicker than Foreman could have, plus his body was in far better shape than Foreman`s was as was Wlad`s.

    Fury is a better mover than anyone Foreman fought in his comeback plus his jab is longer than Foreman`s was.

    Not George in 87-90. Still pretty quick then, slowed down more later on.

    I agree with you, Fury would absolutely beat 40+ Foreman, you may have confused my sentence structure. I didn't say "none" of the top 10 are efficient movers, I said "all" of them aren't. I thought the second sentence clarified that I thought a mover would have a good chance vs. Foreman.
